And the 49ers cornerback unit remains unchanged for a 45th straight day into free agency.

All-Pro Josh Norman ended his brief dalliance on the market by signing Friday with Washington. The five-year deal is worth up to $75 million and includes $36.5 million guaranteed over his first two seasons, Fox Sports reported.

Norman stood to remain this season with the Carolina Panthers for $13.9 million under the franchise tag, but that’s before the Panthers surprisingly rescinded that tender on Wednesday and made Norman a free agent.

Last month, the 49ers failed to close deals with two other free agent cornerbacks, Sean Smith (Raiders) and Casey Hayward (San Diego Chargers).

Cornerback Josh Norman will visit Washington on Friday while the 49ers lurk as his other leading suitor, according to NFL Network.

The Carolina Panthers on Wednesday rescinded the franchise tag from Norman, an All-Pro last season in their march to Super Bowl 50.

The 49ers have the league’s second-most salary-cap space at $52 million, which is $40 million more than Washington’s. Norman stood to make $13.9 million if he signed the tag for this season, though he still could command that and more on the open market.

The 49ers still have all of last season’s starting cornerbacks: Tramaine Brock, Kenneth Acker and Dontae Johnson.
